When it comes to who we choose to romance, everybody has slightly different priorities. For some, physical attraction is the most important, for others, it's a sense of humor. Most people who date for a relationship are looking for the right balance of emotional, physical, and mental agreement—and to state the obvious, they don't always get it.

This is what one man complained about to the internet about his girlfriend who he had been dating for a year and a half. He claimed that although their relationship was great in other ways, he disliked how she seemed to agree with everything he said and never wanted to engage in deep discussion about issues such as politics. 

This confession was controversial, as some argued that there was nothing wrong with this dynamic and others sympathized that he wanted more out of his partner. Communication is always going to be one of the most important parts of being with somebody.

    r/dating advice u/sammysmith1223.23h Girlfriend (20) has no original thoughts I love my girlfriend and we have been dating for about 1.5 years. She is sweet, supportive, cute, funny, etc. but there's a part of her that's bothered me for almost the entire relationship: she has virtually no original thoughts. She essentially agrees with me on everything. I'm constantly in situations where I'm talking about something I'm interested in or that's on my mind, and she always responds with "yeah, totall

    HAT IS THE MATRI X (redacted) @XTheRecluse 1d • Replying to @thechosenberg He wants to have a critical discussion. Which is a fair point from a partner having a yes person beside you is not great for personal growth nor child rearing.

    Seth C@SettySLC. 1d Replying to @thechosenberg If your girlfriend generally agrees with you and your values as reflected in politics be glad. If you want someone to contend with there are plenty that will disagree with you on the internet.

    • Blayze Karp @BlayzeKarp 1d Replying to @thechosenberg What is not being registered here is that he is struggling because he wants someone who actually gives him feedback, she is not doing that and it makes him feel like he's not in a real relationship, or that it is too shallow to feel reliable.

    Lynn Murra @MurraLynn11.1d Replying to @thechosenberg Ladies, based on some of these comments, please never let a single neuron fire when in the presence of your man. Blank stare, straight ahead. Nod. Smile. I think that's it.

    Soledad @summerpard · 1d Fascinating replies, however I can not understand people who do not want to have a back and forth with their partners. I really like argumentation and discussing ideas. I find that agreeableness may be the most overvalued trait on a partner (particularly on women).

    ray @rayinspirits · 1d what he craves is actual communication which goes back and forth with his partner and not a Yes-man. it is critical to understand that when you're building a future with someone you need someone who is capable of holding their own
